Some people call me Jon, or Jonny, or if you really know me, Jono. This is the part where I tell you a little bit about myself and what I do... and possibly how I got to where I am. I am one of five children, and grew up in a lovely home in Dallas, Texas. And yes, If your wondering I am one of those "Texans that's proud of it". Its a really great place... Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet reside in Texas. It was there that I discovered my passion for music. This is the part where a lot of bio's slide down hill into a heap of cliche metaphors and similes... I'm going to avoid that at all costs and approach this with a piece of humble pie in my system. I was in the seventh grade when three of my best buddies and I decided to go to the church and mess around with all the instruments on the stage (yeah, I was one of those kids.) From there, we formed into a band that in it's last state was called Midweek. We played all over Dallas, mostly in bars and clubs that we weren't even old enough to get into at the time. The band lived for about six years, and died when I decided to relocate myself to Savannah where I currently live and go to school. I don't regret my decision to move one bit, It was in that transition that God spoke to me in ways I had never experienced before. I began leading worship for the college ministry of Bull Street Baptist church, and since have been so blessed by it. On a weekly basis, I am challenged to look at my life and the things going on around me and try to hear the voice of God, because I'm certain it's there.
I'm at a point where I'm watching and learning and listening. More and more, I feel called into the music industry. Things happen for a reason, and I've experienced way too much to let music slip away. Keep checking back, in the next few years I expect this page to have more activity. As for now, I'll keep writing, praying and listening.
yeah! im pumped. Is your friend Jillian? I saw you too knew each other. In fact, I think thats how i found your page. She lives across the street from my cousin. She has an awesome voice.. i love it. I want to play at common grounds.. i havent been to crowders church so idk about that. R u in texas? or cali? hhaa
Sup Jonathan? no im not from dallas.. but like an hour away in a small town. Im moving to waco in the fall for college. idk how far away that is from dallas either? but yes, i say we throw down an awesome show sometime.. I think it would be cool to do a praise and worship show.
Thanks so much Jonathan. I'm amazed at the doors God keeps opening. I'm re-reading my book today to remind myself whats in it before the interview :) I'll send you the link once it airs. How was your ski weekend??
